Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Using Inner & Outer Culture to Construct Socialism! (4.2.2026)

04/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Supplies arrived on the back of walking peasants – and/or soldiers, guerrillas, and volunteers riding bicycles, etc. These supplies came from the USSR and China, as well as other places. The Laotian people achieved their Revolution in 1975 – following the North Vietnamese victory other the US-derived South Vietnam regime. Indeed, it has been written that Laos has been the most bombed nation on earth – with the landscape full of bomb-craters and dangerous unexploded ordnance. Simce then, Laos Communist Party has been navigating the vaguaries and peculiarities of the political and cultural climate. Laos is a Buddhist-Socialist Republic which preserves a strong Theravada Buddhist tradition. As a consequence, Marxist-Leninism and Dhamma overlap and intersect seamlessly. By clicking the above link you will find a translated article on the BMA-UK site regarding how Laos is using inner and outer cultivation to build Socialism!

China: 1832 Map Proves “Diaoyu Isles” [钓鱼岛] Part of Qing Dynasty Sovereignty! (2.2.2026)

I came across this “2012” Xinhua article recently – and decided to present here, now that Trump II is forcing the US colonies in the South China Sea (Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines) to agitate the “Sleeping Dragon” (as the Napoleon Bonaparte referred to China) – as a means to put matters straight. Firstly, with all due respect to my American Comrades (and the PRC government) – I will not tolerate the vulgarisation of the (my) beautiful “English” language – Chaucer used it correctly, Shakespeare used it correctly, I had to learn it correctly (as did Friedrich Engels), and so does everyone else (in my humble opinion). Secondly, ignore Wikipedia, it is a CIA Psy-Ops designed to infiltrate every mind in every household (particularly children) in the West – hence the reason it is permitted to remain “free”. Thirdly, frequent yourself with reliable information (I am surprised by how many Americans bravely manage to do this – from within the lion’s cage, so-to-speak). Japan is currently sword-rattling over who owns the “Diaoyu Dao” or “Diao Yu Isles” – but what does this name mean?

England: Latin Medieval Seal – Reading “+SECRETVM . RICARDI” [with Roman Gem-Stone] Unearthed! (2.2.2026)

The inscription – which reads +SECRETVM . RICARDI – shows the seal was created specifically for a man called Richard.

He would have used it to make a mark in hot wax to seal his letters and documents.

Richard appears to have specifically chosen the carved gemstone, known as an intaglio – possibly as a way of showing he had an understanding of the Classical world, according to Miss Rogerson.

She said: “It definitely would have been an indicator of the owner’s social status as a way of saying, ‘I have the means of obtaining something from a far gone time and place’ and indicated they were quite important – or saw themselves as quite important.”

China: Archaeology Proves “Oldest” [5,300-Year-Old] Continuous Culture! (1.2.2026)

01/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

A cornerstone of this research is the Erlitou site in central China’s Henan. Excavated since 1959, this site is widely regarded by Chinese scholars as a major urban center associated with the Xia Dynasty (2070-1600 B.C.), traditionally considered China’s first dynasty.

The most critical discovery at the site is the presence of China’s earliest grid-patterned capital layout, offering rare insights into the capital system of early states.

Erlitou is part of a constellation of key sites. From the ritual complexes at the Niuheliang site in Liaoning to the exquisite pottery at the Taosi site in Shanxi, each discovery has helped clarify the picture of China’s early history.

This grand narrative of continuity is given tangible form through a national network of 150 major archaeological sites, 65 national archaeological parks, and over 240 on-site museums. Together, they form an indelible material record spanning millions of years of human history, 10,000 years of culture and over 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.

Havana: Fidel Castro Explains “Why” the US Wants to Destroy Cuban Socialism! (31.1.2026)

31/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I acquired this wonderful video from the Bronx Anti-War Telegram Channel (linked below). It is remarkable that people like this still exist in the US – but then again the bourgeois warmongers can repress the working-class all they like – but can never permanently silence – or destroy it. Just as long as the capitalists require our labour to earn their riches for them – we will always exist to blight their existence. We patiently watch and wait. Just lately, I have been reading all of Che Guevara’s excellent books preserved in Cuba and actually allowed to be published on the Audible platform. My influences are Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Ho Chi Mnh – but recently I met a man of Spanish descent and he explained to me about the rich (related) but distinct South American tradition of Socialism. Until then, I viewed this aspect (incorrectly) as merely an amorphous extension of Marxist-Leninism. Reading and studying are the keys to education and breaking-up misconceptions about things.

Pressure-Point Therapy is an Important Aspect of TCM!

China: Buddhist-Marxist Alliance (UK) “Socialist” Medicine Upgraded – 70% of TCM Patents Withdrawn Due to Safety! (31.1.2026)

On top of this, some aspects of TCM have developed through added-on superstitions that became popular in the past – but are not related to the philosophical foundation of TCM (probably the “Change Classic”). These Chinese superstitions are culturally comforting – but are not premised upon genuine TCM philosophy – and cannot be materially (objectively) proven to work either traditionally or cotemporally. In the West there are two strands of TCM – one practiced and passed-on by ethnic Chinese people (who may or may not – be linked directly to Mainland China) – the other practiced and passed-on by (usually “White”) non-Chinese people. The latter category evolved out of the Western invasion of China – and the “enforced” teaching of TCM to Westerners. In the UK there are TCM centres (specialising in “acupuncture”) that have no links with any authorising ethnic Chinese institution. These are considered “racist” in historical origin and function – as such entities represent the “White” appropriation of Chinese TCM culture – a process which “excludes” the ethnic Chinese from their own culture. This remains the case even if certain ethnic Chinese individuals are taught this stream of Westernised TCM (which actually happens).
